The Roy G. Post Foundation Scholarship award amounts can even be $5,000 for Undergraduate Students and $7,500 for Graduate Students, but that depends on the fund available annually.
If you happen to be the lucky scholarship recipient, you are expected to attend the entire conference and are required to attend the Tuesday Honors & Awards Luncheon to receive the scholarship.
Winners will be informed of their award one month after the application deadline.
The Roy G. Post Foundation Scholarship is open to students from all over the world, who are currently enrolled full-time in post-secondary educational programs in technical or policy fields, with the objective of contributing to the safe management of nuclear materials.
However, they need to be under the age of 35 to be eligible for the $2,500 award which will be awarded to winning undergraduate students or $5,000 award aimed at helping graduate students.
Besides the money, scholarship recipients will also receive conference registration, hotel accommodations, and travel reimbursement to attend WM Conference.
Eligible are only those full-time students who have not received a Roy Post scholarship.
The selection criteria used in evaluating scholarship applications are the applicant’s GPA, extracurricular activities, involvement in the industry, financial need, research activities, and letters of reference.
